This is from the prongs not making a good connection causing an arch inside the plugg causing what looks like rust on the plugg. I would try snugging up the connection by squeezing the female section to get a better connection on the prongs when it i ...

Carpet attachment attachment appears to have poor/intermittent connection. When initiated, it works for <30 seconds before shutting down. Suction still works but carpet attachment doesn't. Near impossible to restart.

Mine became intermittant so I took apart the exteding wand section. I found that power is transmitted to the cleaning head through a ribbon cable which was damaged (burnt) from repeatedly adjusting the length of the wand. A new wand correct the probl ...

I've recently bought a hitachi HDR505 & haven't had a problem using it with an indoor ariel other than the fact in bad weather conditions there have been problems with the signals. So I tried to attach the ariel wire that connects from a box in the corner of my living room which connects to the outdoor ariel but cannot connect it into the 'ariel in' compartment on the box as it does not fit into that hole but does fit into the 'ariel out' hole. Please could I get help with a solution asap as I w

I have an old Friedland door chime (approx 30 years old). It has 5 terminal screws to connect wires. They are labeled 0-4. I removed the chime during remodeling and would really like to reuse it. I did not label the wires and where they connect when I removed it. I can't figure out how to wire it. I contacted Friedman and they were of no help... didn't have information on chimes that old.
Can you help with how to wire the chime given it has five connections screws with no labels other t

Can you tell me if Powermate Power Brush attachments are all the same for all the Sears Powermate Cannister vacuums. That is, would one power brush attachment on a Model 116.56512690 fit one that is Model 116-22512202? Are the connecting ports all the same size?Thanks for your help.

Kenmore 22812 Bagged Canister Vacuum

I have a dyson animal dc17 vacuum and it totally died. Now I can't figure out which wires go where when I install my new motor. (motor #: 160906G) Do you happen to know where the various color wires go or a place I can see a diagram of the motor with wires attached? I should have taken a photo of it before tearing out the old motor. I don't know where to connect the three coming out from the upright portion of the machine and the red seems to go to a switch (?) and there is a black (connected t

Power head attachment works great when plugged into the hose part of the vacuum. The problem is when I attach it to the tube for normal use there is no power. I have checked all the connections and switched the power switch on and off still no power from tube to power head.
Is there anything else I can try? Model Callisto

Try having someone turn the machine on and off while you pull the cord in and out with the cord more angled towards the on/off switch. Sometimes these models have a break in the cord rewind and will not put the power through to the motor. ...

What now????

I have a Kenmore Progressive model 116.22812204 purchased 2003. The swivel (part nuumber 8195133) that attaches the extension wand to the power mate attachment snapped, so I can't keep the parts connected. I can order a replacement part on-line, but I don't know how to replace it - is it difficult to take apart the power-mate and replace this part? Do you have instructions on how to do it? Thanks!

When running the 2100 Electrolux vacuum, it is stopping and starting when pulling or pushing the floor attachment. Seems like the connection at the top of the handle is a little loose or the electric tabs are loose where the hose connects. Any ideas?

Other option is that on the hose end of the electrical connection, you can use an awl on the electrical connections to bend them in slightly so they make good contact when they are automatically plugged in when you connect the wands. HOWEVER, ONLY D ...

Kenmore 21875 One day it's working fine. Next day, it won't turn on. When I attach the hose to another vacuum cleaner, it runs. Is there a reset button on the canister? Could it be the receptacle is bad?
My Kenmore Progressive won't turn on today either -but was fine last week. I cleaned the filters checked for blocked air, tried a different outlet and no luck. I'll check the pins on the connections and see if one of them is not matching up or appears worn.

I have the dc 17 animal model and there are no instructions in how to use the attachments,how they connect and so on.I have to assume that this is not an uncommon question considering that the box was completely sealed when purchased. Are there instructions that you can download. IMorales

I have a Hoover SteamVac Spot/Deep Cleaner, model F5515. I've had it a little over 1 year. It will not extract dirty water from the floor. I've made sure the recovery tank is attached correctly and also that the stair tool is connected. Is there something else I can try??

My dyson DC17 will not turn on unless the handle is pulled back.(into the vacuuming position) The attachment hose will not work at all (0 suction thru it). I've checked the hose and made sure there is no obstruction. Any ideas?

Not sure if I can help, but I'll try. The DC17 has two motors: the vacuum motor and a separate motor for the brush bar. It is normal that the brush motor works only when the handle is pulled back in the vacuuming position - that's the way it's made. ...
